"Baby Deesus!"
“Over the weekend we introduced the Giving Manger to Cedar. The concept: you spend the season giving back and serving others, and each time you do you place a piece of straw in the manger, then on Christmas all the good deeds make a soft bed for Jesus. Two things, 1) Cedar is still a little young to grasp all of this, but she gets to put a piece of straw in after helping her grandfather feed the pets, or helping her grandmother put up Christmas decorations. Zac and I put pieces in too which is a great way for us to check our hearts when we are serving one another. And 2) I think the baby Jesus is too precious to keep in the box until Christmas so he’s already out and I get to hear her say “Baby Deesus!” all day long as she makes and remakes his bed and changes his diaper." - @jocelyne.west
